Reiki

In Japanese Rei is the creative expression of our universal
surroundings. It is all that we see, smell, taste, touch, feel
and hear. Ki is Japanese for energy or power. Ki is the life force energy
that flows through our bodies, also known as ‘parana’
or ‘chi’. Therefore Reiki is considered to be a system
of energy healing which guides 'Universal Life Force Energy'.

A Reiki practitioner channels Reiki energy through their hands
and recipients may be aware of heat emanating from the practitioners
hands. Reiki helps the bodies natural ability to heal itself by
removing blocks and restoring energy balance. It is also a useful
tool for self awareness and can be used alongside other complementary
therapies such as massage to enhance the treatment or alone as
complete treatment.

Within a Reiki treatment the practitioner works on a person's seven
major energy centres (Chakras). Each centre relates to and vitalises
a different part of the physical body and has different emotional,
mental and spiritual functions. The aim of Reiki is to balance these
centres so that energy flows through them and they vibrate properly.

Treatment includes placing the hands above, or on, the head, shoulders,
stomach and feet. In addition, other positions may be used for specific
conditions the client may have. It often creates a wonderful radiance
that is deeply relaxing and includes many beneficial affects for both
client and practitioner.
